What is the focus of Andrea Dunlop's true crime podcast?
No, this is my first nonfiction book. The other four are novels. And it's very funny because people are always like with the book or with the show, they're like, oh, my God, I love your show. I mean, not because like, you know, I know it's like it's like they're trying to tell me like, oh, not because I love child abuse. I'm like, no, I know. I understand what you're saying. And it's like, right.
Of course, like, I want people to be engaged with the storytelling. I want them to connect to that. They're not going to care about it unless they are connecting to the story and unless they are staying engaged with the story, right? And, like, obviously, we take it really seriously. Obviously, we do the utmost to tell things ethically. But, like, you also have to have a good story.
Yeah, for sure. Well... This was amazing.
We just got like straight in the deep end, which I love. I could talk to you for hours. Andrea, thank you so much for coming on our show and sharing your story with us. Thanks for listening.
